the everyday life of a working artist

Today was such a great day. It started with an awesome Artists Helping Artists podcast titled "How to Find Your Target Art Audience". If there is ever a show that you need to listen to, then this is it! Understanding who your buyers are and knowing how to target them is one of the most important things you should know when it comes to selling your art. So take an hour to listen to the show. And please let me know what you think.

After the podcast I had a fabulous Marketing Consultation. I cannot wait to see how this artist makes changes to her "brand", website, blog and marketing strategy. What a great way to spend two hours on the phone! I am so lucky to be able to do this.

After lunch I got to play bingo with my mom and for the third straight day she won one of the games. Yes, that makes her 3-3. My mother rocks. I am so proud of her.

Finally, I came home and painted this painting. I really like this color palette and I think this painting would look fabulous in a "farmhouse styled" home. As you know, all of my paintings this month are inspired by my favorite TV show Fixer Upper.
